Europe Follows US Lead In Visa Restrictions

LONDON [MENL] -- The European Union has followed the lead of the United States in restricting entry from Arab and Islamic states.

Arab diplomatic sources said the restrictions have already been felt in Britain and Germany. Both have large Muslim populations.

"Europeans understand that those who carried out the September 11 attacks are a different breed of terrorists," Josef Joffe, a European analyst told the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "If the staging post was Germany, the banking system for terror was based in Britain."

The sources said the restrictions have alarmed some North African countries, particularly Algeria and Tunisia. These countries regard immigration to Europe as a means to relieve internal pressure and economic hardship.

Message to Africa: It's time to step up and solve your own problems.

Yep, they're used to shipping their problems off to someone else so their people die instead. Looks like these countries are going to have to learn how to deal with their own problems.

When Jorge Haider proposed restricting the wave of Muslim immigration into Austria, the EU called him a bigot.

I sat if they are to enter legally, they must volunteer to an injection of a pellet so we could closely monitor their movements. Kinda, sorta like an ankle monitor internally. Catch is if they go anywhere near any suspected terrorist cell or parties, then it implodes, problem solved. Or so my husband thinks.

GOOD! Western society with its individual freedoms should NOT be a suicide pact!

If the Islamics continue to breed terrorists, North Africa's population pressure might just turn into a vacuum.
